Got an invite last Friday from a friend for an evening trip for black drum. I've never caught one, so I jumped at the chance. It was a little slow, but I managed a nice fish right at sunset.

Got out on Monday on the Tin Can with Chrisper for a quick walleye trip. We did pretty well, and Chrisper had 4 hybrids and two walleye and I managed three walleye and a hybrid.

Damm! That thing looks a giant Nile Perch! Was that from local waters? Another off the bucket list. Way to go.

Killer pics man! Never drum fished before but read plenty. This a anchor up or drift? Clams on a fishfinder rig?

Amazing backdrop with that drum. Do people eat those things, or just for sport?

People eat them, though the bigger fish frequently have worms.

Yup, redfish, aka red drum, and black drum are closely related.
